(Capillary Action)
How does Moisture Wicking Fabric work?
SPORTINGTEX wicking fabrics use uniquely “X shaped” cross-section fiber, combined with high absorption technology that moisture and sweat can be pulled away from the skin very quickly and transmitted to the fabric surface, and also help to diffuse on the fabric surface much wider/faster.
Capillary action is a process of how moisture wicking fabrics draw moisture.
In addition, in the process of moisture wicking, when the liquid sweat is transformed into water vapor, it will produce a heat absorption phenomenon, which will be taken away by the water vapor. Therefore, the fabric not only has the function of wicking but also It provides you with a cool and comfortable wearing feeling.
